I just took an applied skills assessment that did not track my completion. When it ended, it didn't give me a result; instead, it said I would need to wait 70 hours for a retake. Why did this happen? Who can I talk to about fixing this?

It's not a big deal, they don't need long to take and employers should not really take these in account in assessing you if that is important to you. It's not like real exams where you need to know everything. Applied skills you can actually do like you normally do you job, with lots of help of google and AI :)

2026-04-18T18:51:21.71+00:00 Hi Martin,
I only flagged it because I was certain I passed. I studied for it and was locked in throughout. There must have been an issue with the connection, because almost an hour later, I received confirmation that I had indeed passed.
